            Welcome back to my favorite comedy relief man...we missed you Jeff.

Kelda:
ah yes Jeff, tell us all, were you allow4ed to have your camera on the battlefield?

Jeff Wrangler:
Hey, thanks everyone. It's good to be home.

On the other hand, I'm away for a week, all hell breaks loose at work, I'm surrounded at home by the detritus of the trip, and I'm spinning like a dervish trying to figure out where to start/what to do next.

I don't do any of the fighting. I don't know how anyone survives 90+F temperatures and Pennsylvania humidity in armor. When it wasn't hot and sunny it was hot and rainy. I mostly stayed in camp, relaxed, and read. Saw some good theatrical productions while I was there.

The squires interest me more than the knights. ...  ;)

Spectators stay on the edge of the battlefield so they don't get hurt. They can take photos, but since I didn't go to watch any of the fighting. It's amazing how loud it is when a couple of hundred guys with rattan swords beat on wooden or steel shields all at once. You can hear it back in camp.

Best way to learn about it is at the society web site: http://www.sca.org. It hasn't got anything to do with "Dungeons and Dragons."

Now, I gotta focus, focus, focus. ...
